Iva Jovic is preparing to face Coco Gauff in the Round of 16 at the WTA Rome tournament.
Jovic has achieved two consecutive wins in Rome, both in straight sets.
Gauff and Jovic’s match is anticipated to be one of the more interesting battles in the Rome Round of 16.
Jovic Aims to Continue Winning Streak
Iva Jovic is in good form and will be aiming to cause another big upset at a tournament where Aryna Sabalenka has already been knocked out.
Gauff’s Form in Question
Coco Gauff has not been playing her best tennis and is struggling to find her form in what has been a difficult season for her.
Even when she wins, it’s not easy.
Gauff won a tough three-set match in her most recent Rome match.
Value Bet on Jovic
Gauff just isn’t performing up to her standards, and her forehand has not been firing accurately.
That’s when Coco can really struggle.
Even if Gauff wins, Jovic is likely to make this match competitive.
A value bet is Jovic +1.5 sets @2.05 @10Bet.
You could fold a Gauff moneyline bet into a parlay while making the set spread bet on Jovic as a single bet.
Cirstea’s Confidence Boost
Sorana-Mihaela Cirstea beat a World No. 1 player for the first time in her long career this past Saturday.
She was down 6-2, 2-0 to Aryna Sabalenka but came storming back to win 7-5 in the third set.
Cirstea was able to repeatedly break Sabalenka’s serve and deliver one of the most memorable victories she has ever achieved.
Cirstea will have a lot of confidence going into her match against Linda Noskova.
Even if she loses the first set, Cirstea will know, having regrouped to beat Sabalenka, that she can mount a comeback.
Betting on Cirstea winning is a value bet for sure, with the best odds @2.14 @Pinnacle.
The WTA Rome tournament Round of 16 is played on Monday.
